Reassembly is a reversal of dismantling, noting the following points: The coil springs must be installed with the paint mark at the bottom. Make sure that the coil spring ends are correctly located in the upper and lower seats before releasing the compressor. When installing the spring, make sure the ends fit into the recessed portion of the seats. Tighten the piston rod nut to the specified torque.

Remove the lower shock mounting bolt. Remove the rear shock lower mounting nut and bolt (2012 and earlier models).

Push down on one corner of the vehicle and release it, observing the body's movement, which should come to rest in a level position within one or two bounces. Any continued up-and-down movement or failure to return to the original position may indicate worn or weak shock absorbers.

Detach the link from the strut. If the ballstud spins, hold it with an Allen wrench placed in the center of the stud while loosening the nut.
